DNA pioneer Francis Crick dies at 88 in San Diego
Nobel laureate Francis Crick died at Thornton Hospital at age eighty eight after a long colon cancer battle. He co discovered the DNA double helix with James Watson in 1953 and later helped crack the genetic code while turning his attention to brain science and consciousness. Colleagues praised his boundless curiosity and intellectual rigor as he remained engaged in theory until his death. Watson called him a valued talk partner and friend.

Iraqi leaders conference delayed amid rising turmoil in Baghdad
The national conference of Iraqi political religious and civic leaders was postponed after a day of deadly violence and kidnapping threats. Marines fought insurgents in Fallujah as two coalition soldiers were killed and hostage threats persisted from groups linked to Abu Musab al Zarqawi. The delay follows a deadly car incident that killed about 70 people, the worst since power shifted to the interim government. U N officials sought to broaden participation and prepare for the 1000 attendee gathering aimed at electing an interim national assembly.

Nezah Mashiah, head of the barrier project, said the move signals continued intent to keep settlement blocs on the Israeli side as part of Sharon’s unilateral disengagement plan aiming to pull back from Gaza and four West Bank settlements by late next year.
